A Mesoamerican System Of Weights And Measures? Did The Ancient Peoples Of Mesoamerica Use A System Of Weights And Scales In Measuring Goods And Their Values?, Journal Of Book Of Mormon Studies

Journal of Book of Mormon Studies

Ancient Mesoamericans used some systems of weights and measures; items in the market, though, were usually sold by volume. The Mesoamerican weights and measures may coincide with the weights and measures described in Alma 11 of the Book of Mormon, but more research is necessary in order to make conclusive claims.

The Skyrme Model For Baryons, Joseph Schechter, H. Weigel

Physics - All Scholarship

We review the Skyrme model approach which treats baryons as solitons of an effective meson theory. We start out with a historical introduction and a concise discussion of the original two flavor Skyrme model and its interpretation. Then we develop the theme, motivated by the large N_C approximation of QCD, that the {\it effective} Lagrangian of QCD is in fact one which contains just mesons of all spins. When this Lagrangian is (at least approximately) determined from the meson sector it should then yield a zero parameter description of the baryons. We next discuss the concept of chiral symmetry and …

Essays In Mechanism Design., Suresh Mutuswami Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The theory of implementation or mechanism design had its origins in the debates in the 1930s between Hayek, Lange and Lerner on the informational efficiency of the market economy. However, it was the work of Hurwicz in the 1950s and the 1960s which formalised the insights of Hayek, Lange and Lerner and paved the way for the body of work that followed his pioneering effort.In addition to the considerable theoretical literature on mechanism de- sign'. there also exists a body of literature which uses the mechanism design approach to address specific problems. Some examples of work in this vein include …

Mechanism For A Next-To-Lowest Lying Scalar Meson Nonet, Joseph Schechter, Deirdre Black, Amir H. Fariborz

Physics - All Scholarship

Recent work suggests the existence of a non-conventional lowest-lying scalar nonet containing the a0(980). Then the a0(1450) and also the K0*(1430) are likely candidates to belong to a conventional p-wave q \bar q nonet. However a comparison of their properties with those expected on this basis reveals a number of puzzling features. It is pointed out that these puzzles can be resolved in a natural and robust way by assuming a ``bare'' conventional p-wave scalar q \bar q nonet to mix with a lighter four quark qq \bar q \bar q scalar nonet to form new ``physical'' states. The essential …

Numerical Investigation Of The Thermodynamic Limit For Ground States In Models With Quenched Disorder, Alan Middleton

Physics - All Scholarship

The effect of open boundary conditions for four models with quenched disorder are studied in finite samples by numerical ground state calculations. Extrapolation to the infinite volume limit indicates that the configurations in ``windows'' of fixed size converge to a unique configuration, up to global symmetries. The scaling of this convergence is consistent with calculations based on the fractal dimension of domain walls. These results provide strong evidence for the ``two-state'' picture of the low temperature behavior of these models. Convergence in three-dimensional systems can require relatively large windows.

On The Relationships Between Linear Extensions And Multiprocessor Scheduling., Jodi Wineman

Student Work

Scheduling is a classical field with many challenging problems and interesting results. A scheduling problem emerges wherever there is a choice as to the order in which a number of tasks can be performed and/or the assignment of the tasks to the available resources for processing . In this thesis, we focus on a version of the scheduling problem that deals with scheduling precedence constrained tasks onto the multi processors of a given distributed system with the goal of minimizing the schedule time. This scheduling problem has been proven to be NP-hard even when several restrictions are applied. This implies …

The Beta Subunit Determines The Nucleotide Specificity Of Atp-Specific And Gtp-Specific Succinyl-Coa Synthetases In Vertebrates., James Darwin Johnson

Theses and Dissertations

Two isoforms of succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) have been purified from breast muscle and liver in pigeon, one highly specific for adenine nucleotides (A-SCS), the other for guanine nucleotides (G-SCS), respectively. Nucleotide specificity studies demonstrated that A-SCS could not utilize guanine nucleotides and that G-SCS could not use adenine nucleotides. Enzymatic assays of tissue extracts detected both isoforms in kidney, heart, and brain, while only A-SCS was in breast muscle, and G-SCS in liver. Highly purified A-SCS and G-SCS each possessed the α and β subunits that are common to all previously purified SCSs. Characterization studies of the two isoforms by …

A Sound Study Of Conceptual Understanding During Constructivist Teaching, Terrijann MüLlerdahlberg

Theses and Dissertations

This study presents the results of an examination of changes in six fourth grade students thinking about the nature of sound during a nine lesson unit on sound. At the core of the curriculum was a teaching strategy called constructivist teaching (Bybee, 1993). Classroom observation, students' written work, and interviewing were the major data gathering procedures used to develop a coding system to categorize the patterns that emerged: (a) students' conceptual learning, and (b) the students' perceptions of factors leading to this understanding. Three patterns emerged that indicated students' conceptual learning: (a) students added new concepts to their existing cognitive …

Chemical Characteristics Of Air From Differing Source Regions During The Pacific Exploratory Mission-Tropics A (Pem-Tropics A), Ashley S. Board, H Fuelberg, G L. Gregory, B J. Heikes, Martin G. Schultz, D R. Blake, Jack E. Dibb, S T. Sandholm, R. Talbot

Earth Sciences

Ten-day backward trajectories are used to determine the origins of air parcels arriving at airborne DC-8 chemical measurement sites during NASA's Pacific Exploratory Mission-Tropics A (PEM-T) that was conducted during August-October 1996. Those sites at which the air had a common geographical origin and transport history are grouped together, and statistical measures of chemical characteristics are computed. Temporal changes in potential temperature are used to determine whether trajectories experience a significant convective influence during the 10-day period. Those trajectories that do not experience a significant convective influence are divided into four geographical categories depending on their origins and paths. Air …

Constraints On The Age And Dilution Of Pacific Exploratory Mission-Tropics Biomass Burning Plumes From The Natural Radionuclide Tracer 210pb, Jack E. Dibb, R. Talbot, David Meeker, Eric Scheuer, N J. Blake, D R. Blake, G L. Gregory, G W. Sachse

Earth Sciences

During the NASA Global Troposphere Experiment Pacific Exploratory Mission-Tropics (PEM-Tropics) airborne sampling campaign we found unexpectedly high concentrations of aerosol-associated ²¹⁰Pb throughout the free troposphere over the South Pacific. Because of the remoteness of the study region, we expected specific activities to be generally less than 35 μBq m⁻³ but found an average in the free troposphere of 107 μBq m⁻³. This average was elevated by a large number of very active (up to 405 μBq m⁻³) samples that were associated with biomass burning plumes encountered on nearly every PEM-Tropics flight in the southern …

Ozone And Aerosol Distributions And Air Mass Characteristics Over The South Pacific During The Burning Season, Marta Fenn, Edward V. Browell, Carolyn Butler, William B. Grant, Susan A.

Singh, R. Talbot, D C. Thornton

Earth Sciences

In situ and laser remote measurements of gases and aerosols were made with airborne instrumentation to establish a baseline chemical signature of the atmosphere above the South Pacific Ocean during the NASA Global Tropospheric Experiment (GTE)/Pacific Exploratory Mission-Tropics A (PEM-Tropics A) conducted in August-October 1996. This paper discusses general characteristics of the air masses encountered during this experiment using an airborne lidar system for measurements of the large-scale variations in ozone (O₃) and aerosol distributions across the troposphere, calculated potential vorticity (PV) from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF), and in situ measurements for comprehensive air …
